Последние ставят своей целью в жизни победить в международных соревнованиях, стать призером Олимпийских Игр (become a winner of Olympic Games), побить мировой рекорд или установить новый (break / set a record). В целом, видов спорта очень много (включая олимпийские), но нам будут интересны самые популярные. В легкой атлетике это бег, прыжок в длину и прыжок в высоту (long / high jump), прыжок с шестом (pole-vault), метание диска и копья, езда на велосипеде.
